Product Description

Immorality is inundating the Christian community and gradually eroding the foundations of Christian living. The truth ofGod incarnate, the atonement and the bodily resurrection of Christ are under attack - even from within the church. These are the concerns of Christians today, and they were the problems that faced the Christians of John's day. In a society that scorned the gospel and sneered at godly living, John encouraged Christians with a message forged two words - truth and love. In this contemporary retelling of John's message, David Jackman describes John's first letter as an upwardly spiralingstaircase that circles and broadens out around the twinthemes of truth, and love, mind and heart, Word and Spirit. It is a message both timeless and timely for the church today.
